Health benefits of pumpkin

Along with the wonderful lightly sweet taste of pumpkin, you can profit from its health-promoting nutrients. A cup of cooked mashed pumpkin delivers at least 200% of the recommended daily value for vitamin A. According to the National Institutes of Health, the vitamin favors the eye health, especially in dim light.

The bright orange color of pumpkins is due to their rich carotene content, especially beta-carotene, which our bodies turn into vitamin A for extra peeper protection.

Pumpkin is a decent fiber source, as a cup of pumpkin contains 3g of dietary fiber and barely 49 calories, thus keeping you satiated and promoting weight-loss.

When we talk about cancer-preventive foods, pumpkin is worth including in your diet, because of the beta-carotene’s antioxidant character (according to the National Cancer Institute).

The same free-radical-neutralizing properties of pumpkin carotenoids may help you keep your skin smooth and avoid wrinkles.

Pumpkin is a great post-workout food. The reason for that is because it is an excellent potassium source, and potassium helps restore your body’s lost electrolytes after a training session, thus helping restore the muscles.

To boot, pumpkins are a great source of vitamin C. A cooked cup of pumpkin provides more than 11mg vitamin C, which equals to almost 20% of the recommended daily intake of the 60mg that is recommended for women (men should consume around 75mg). Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant and wards off colds.
